[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Silktie]

Guys, I know it's difficult to discuss Harry without mentioning Ruth, but if your post is solely about the HR relationship, please post it in the HR thread, and let's focus more on Harry in this thread. Thanks.

That last line of his to Ruth, in addition to telling her to give him a chance to be an actual human being with doubts, self-pity, breaches in judgement, etc, he is also saying that in their work they need to give the human race a chance to be the best that they can be, e.g. Dr Kirby's decision to hold some of the nerve agent back b/c it holds potential to cure disease. In other words, not everybody is an a**hole or a subject of suspicion. Some people, a lot of people, are honorable. Maybe he is beginning to trust himself again?

And did you guys catch the glance he gives her after she tells him that he could lose everything? I can't tell if his look is saying, Including you? (question mark) Or if it is saying, Including you. (period) Maybe both. PF is good at that.

You may be onto something, AC. I've been thinking about what would get Harry out of his funk, and that may be one way. He just needed to realise that there is some good left in the world, and that he himself is still a good man.
